    Can this old computer run Windows 7 or 10?

    I have a similar setup and it runs 7 fine. I did have to upgrade my video card because of driver issues. Pretty sure mine will do 10 also.

    Automatic update not listed in services

    Yes updates does appear in control and says its on, but I get the security center warning that it's off. When I try to connect to Microsoft update from their site , I get code 0x80070424 and have followed some suggestions from there but nothing has worked. I've installed SP3 from my thumb drive.

    Automatic update not listed in services

    Picked a used Dell P4 with XP for my 10 Yr old son. It will not run Windows update and I don't see Automatic Update listed in 'services'. There has been no updates from Microsoft since the PC was new. Can I repair this or do I need to Reinstall XP? Thanks, Chuck

    Patriot memory any good?

    I first bought some DDR2, NIB, from a guy on ebay and it didn't work. Patriot still replaced it for me, which I thought was great and am still using that 2 gig and another 4 gig in another unit. Haven't needed any DDR3, but I would definately consider it.

    Decent PCI Express card to upgrade my PC for $80 and under?

    The power plug for the video card will be inside your computer, one of the wires coming from the PSU. Just go for the 4650 or 4670 and make sure you put it in the X16 slot.
